They make a dedicated NVR server still, I thought. It's new.
Yeah but the NVR is $300. Then you still need the other networking stuff. So this makes it reasonable, everything for $380.
It's for bigger shops, I get that. Just saying you CAN host it.

Oh yeah you can host it for free. It just lacks updates a lot. Like I said, it was Ubuntu 14.04 until this year.

I'm assuming this was because of Mongo? I have no idea though. Seems crazy to lag that far behind.

Easily, that thing causes so many upgrade problems.

Do any of you have any experience with the Unifi APs in a warehouse environment? Don't know if it matters, but the detail I forgot to add is these will also be deployed in a 30k sq ft warehouse (might be bigger). I know the Ciscos we are using here are designed for "external" use with external antennas as well. I'm assuming the Ubiquity line has something similar?
Also, since someone mentioned NVRs earlier, instead of starting a new thread, I'm wondering what you all are using for camera systems. This new location is probably going to need 5-10 cameras. At HQ we use a Genetec system for CCTV/access control which is great and it would be nice to be able to tie that system into this new system, but that probably won't be possible due to bandwidth limitations so we'll probably have to put a local device at this new location.
Thanks for your help as always!

Yes, for sure.

I would never use them for the proposed scenario though. That is the wrong design.
Look at this:

A lot of people will be dumping Ubnt NVR products (just the nvr side). Synology NAS just specifically for NVR is appearing to be the better offer for smb deployments up to 100 cameras.

@krisleslie How is it better? It would take a lot for synology to be better than ubnt in my opinion. Not saying it isnt possibe, just asking the details is all.
